Dzierzgoń, Municipal center in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The city of Dzierzgoń extends along the banks of the Dzierzgoń River, positioned between the larger urban centers of Malbork and Elbląg.

The Teutonic Knights constructed a fortified castle named Neu Christburg near the river in 1247, establishing a strategic administrative center for the region.

The settlement originated from the Old Prussian tribe of Pomesanians, who established their presence in the area during the early medieval period.

The municipality covers 131.4 square kilometers and maintains administrative offices at Plac Wolności, serving a population of approximately 9,800 residents.

Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło utilized the castle as a temporary residence after the Battle of Grunwald to receive delegations from Elbląg.
